Trump wants the secret documents back so he can do more CRIMES ... Rolling Stone: "Trump Tells His Lawyers: Get ‘My’ Top Secret Documents Back" Rolling Stone Magazine is running with the story that Trump has ordered his lawyers to get those top secret documents back. Essentially, it confirms what the New York Times wrote about Trump claiming those stolen top secret documents were “mine.” You know the documents that were never at Mar-a-Lago, then they were planted during the search by the FBI, and now Trump is claiming that the secrets he stole are his IN THE WEEKS after the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago raid, former President Donald Trump repeatedly made a simple-sounding but extraordinary ask: he wanted his lawyers to get “my documents” back from federal law enforcement. Trump wasn’t merely referring to the alleged trove of attorney-client material that he insists was scooped up by the feds, two people familiar with the matter tell Rolling Stone. The ex-president has been demanding that his team find a way to recover “all” of the official documents that Trump has long referred to as “mine” — including the highly sensitive and top secret ones. Sources close to Trump agree with outside legal experts that such a sweeping legal maneuver would be a long-shot, at best. “I hate to break it to the [former] president, but I do not think he is going to get all [the] top-secret documents back,” says one Trump adviser. “That ship has probably sailed.” Still, the former president’s legal team appears to be working to retrieve at least some of the papers seized during the Aug. 8 federal search. In recent days, the Trump team — led by former federal prosecutor Evan Corcoran — has been quietly prepping additional legal arguments and strategies to try to pry back material that the feds removed from the ex-president’s Florida abode and club, the sources say. Those measures include drafting a so-called “Rule 41(g) motion,” which allows “a person aggrieved by an unlawful search and seizure of property” to “move for the property’s return,” according to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. “The motion he already filed is so absolutely terrible, that it’s hard to contemplate him filing something even more aggressive and even more unlikely to succeed,” says Ken White, a criminal defense attorney and former federal prosecutor. “However,” White added, Trump is “basically trying to litigate the ultimate issue in the case, which is whether he had the right to possess and keep those things, even after he was asked to return them. It’s very unlikely that the court would accept that invitation to litigate that…He would have to prove that those things were illegally taken, and — based on what we know — that is going to be very difficult to prove…He’s going to have to make some very unusual legal arguments, which, if they’re anything like the motion that was just filed, is going to be a very uphill climb.”
Everyday there is a new revelation, Trump looks worse and worse. Don Jr alluded there were nuclear codes in the illegally retained classified documents.
Not only has Trump never denied having the classified documents, his latest filing claiming executive privilege is an admission that he did take them which of course is illegal. So Trump has basically admitted to the crime. All of the crap about the DOJ/FBI is such a horrible smoke screen, but I don't think it's even that. It seems for such a long time people tied their identity to either thinking Trump didn't do anything wrong, or the people accusing Trump were out of touch and over reacting. Now, they are searching for any way to not have to admit they were wrong. Trump did it. The FBI and DOJ were justified in their requests, and their execution of the warrant. There is no evidence of anything other than that.
a fund set up by Trump so that he can fight the corrupt FBI and save America coming in 3, 2… cult members will gladly give up their rent money and be late on bills in order to help their dear leader out
This is Trump MO. Once he's done denying it, he shifts toward there was nothing wrong but that in fact, he's been wronged. It was not just a "perfect call", he's being prosecuted. The cult will line up and agree. We've seen it already here by some posters (through silly cartoons, funny logic, and the usual victimization and rationalization).
This is a genius move. Trump never loses. He will make the government look incompetent with his superior intellect. Good luck liberals.
Not documents, planting bugs Trump got into this trouble because he declassified damaging documents from the Obama, Biden years, according to John Yoo.
